another doctors office down... talked to an office in Portsmouth today and they said "no" to the c-section too. "there's too many risks involved" and, very nicely, she wanted to make sure I knew that anencephalic babies born c-section are born dead too. You know, just so that I don't have any false expectations. Thanks for the input.
Honestly, my heart can't handle the constant disappointments. I'm meeting with Maine Medical again on Tuesday and we'll get to see Rachel again on a 4D ultrasound. I'm looking forward to that...with a little reservation. I'm going to have another talk with them about the c-section. Please pray that they will be responsive.
On August 4, 2010 our hearts broke as we heard the Dr. say "she has anencephaly...these babies don't live" at our 19 wk ultrasound. The Dr. is wrong. Our precious daughter's time on earth may be short, but she will live for eternity with our Lord in heaven. During the few months we have her here with us, we intend to make the most of every second of it. Our hope is that she will leave behind more than a few short memories, but that she will leave a legacy of what it means to hope in Jesus.
